SP leaders colluding with BJP to avoid CBI, says Shivpal Yadav after being sacked

Samajwadi Party Uttar Pardesh chief Shivpal Yadav addressed media on Sunday afternoon after being sacked at state cabinet minister by CM Akhilesh Yadav. 

During his press conference in Lucknow, Shivpal said that 'some people are colluding with BJP to allude CBI'. 

"I am not worried about being sacked, will go polls under Netaji Mulayam Singh Yadav," he said. 

Mulayam's brother and party loyalist, Shivpal however expressed disappointment on nephew Akhilesh's work process and said that CM should not have levied direct blame on him without understanding the real conspiracy behind the scenes. 

Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday purged his cabinet of any supporters of 'outsider' Amar Singh, saying that it can be either him or Singh in SP.
